Degenerative diseases are commonly associated with excess free radicals. Acer okamotoanum, a plant endemic to Korea, is reported to have anti-oxidant, anti-cancer, and anti-viral activities. We previously isolated flavonoids from the ethyl acetate fraction of A. okamotoanum such as quercitrin (QU), isoquercitrin (IQ), and afzelin (AF). In the present study, the in vitro antioxidant activity of flavonoids such as QU, IQ, and AF isolated from the ethyl acetate fraction of A. okamotoanum were investigated by measuring the free radical scavenging activity including 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), hydroxyl radical ($^{\cdot}OH$), and superoxide anion ($O_2{^-}$). The flavonoids (QU, IQ, and AF) concentration-dependently showed a DPPH radical scavenging activity. In particular, QU and IQ showed a higher DPPH radical scavenging activity than that of AF. In addition, the flavonoids (QU, IQ, and AF) at $10{\mu}g/mL$ showed over an 80% scavenging effect against $^{\cdot}OH$ radical production. Furthermore, the $O_2{^-}$ radical scavenging activity of the flavonoids, QU, IQ, and AF increased in a dose-dependent manner. Particularly, IQ exerted the strongest scavenging activities against $^{\cdot}OH$ and $O_2{^-}$ radicals among the other flavonoids. These results indicate that the flavonoids from A. okamotoanum, in particular IQ, would have a protective activity against oxidative stress induced by free radicals, and potentially be considered as a natural antioxidant agent.

Oxidative stress has been reported to be one of causes of neuritis. This study examined antioxidative activities of methanol extracts of six amphibian species known to be medicinal animals (Rana catesbeiana, R. coreana, R. rugosa, R. dybowskii, R. nigromaculata, and Hyla japonica) and investigated their effects of inhibiting nitric oxide (NO) production and cytotoxicity on the murine macrophage RAW264.7 cells. As inflammation is closely associated with reactive oxygen species, assays on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity, superoxide anion radical scavenging activity and NO scavenging activity of the extracts of the six species were performed to investigate their antioxidative activity. The results obtained were as follows; All extracts showed antioxidative activity, and the activity of R. dybowskii was the highest in comparison among those. Anti-inflammatory effects of the extracts were also examined, the five extracts except that of R. rugosa did not show cytotoxicity for RAW264.7 cells at the maximal concentration ($1,000{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$). Selectivity index, meaning NO scavenging activity compared to cytotoxicity, showed the highest level in the extract of R. dybowskii. These results will be very useful basic data for future studies on prevention and treatment of human diseases to understand the biological roles of amphibian extracts throughout the antioxidative or anti-inflammatory pathways.

This investigation was performed to study the antioxidant activities and the antimicrobial effect of plum (Santarosa, Oishiwase) extracts. Plums were extracted by ultrasound-assisted method and boiling method. All extracts of plums showed concentration-dependent inhibitory effects on the DPPH free radical scavenging activity. In the superoxide anion radical scavenging method, all the plum extracts showed lower activity than BHT. But in case of sonicate extract of Oishwase exhibited the highest activity in plum extracts. The antimicrobial effect of plums used for human skin- or oral cavity-presented strains; Bacillus cereus (KCTC 1012) and Staphylococcus aureus (KCTC 1927). Addition of plum extracts was used by autoclaved and filtrated. Each extract solution was added into culture media with several concentration and then the bacteria cell growth was investigated for 72 hours. The effect of antimicrobial activities showed in a higher Staphylococcus aureus than Bacillus cereus. Results indicate that the autoclaved sample showed a higher antimicrobial activity than did the filtrated sample.

This study examined the changes in the chemical components and antioxidant activity of Ecklonia cava according to the drying methods. As chemical components, the concentrations of minerals(K, Ca, Na, Mg, Fe, Cu, Mn and Zn), vitamins(vitamin C, ${\beta}$-carotene and ${\alpha}$-tocopherol) and the total polyphenols were analyzed. In additions, the antioxidant activity was determined by measuring the free radical(DPPH radical, superoxide anion radical, hydroxyl radical and hydrogen peroxide) scavenging activity and the linoleic acid peroxidation inhibitory activity. The mineral content was not affected by the drying methods. However, more vitamins were lost and the total polyphenol concentration was reduced as a result of sun-drying than by the other drying methods used. More of the total polyphenol was preserved by freezing-drying than by any of the other drying methods, which meant that there was a higher antioxidant activity after freeze drying.

본 연구에서는 아로니아 추출물의 항산화제와 항알레르기 치료제로써의 유효성을 알아보기 위해 페놀성 화합물 및 플라보노이드 함량과 DPPH 라디칼 포착효능, superoxide 음이온 라디칼 포착효능, 5-LO억제 효능 및 COX억제효능을 측정하였다. 측정결과 아로니아는 유효성분으로 예상되는 페놀성 화합물과 플라보노이드가 각각 $745.4{\pm}3.7\;mg/g$, $74.63{\pm}2.2\;mg/g$으로 상당량 함유되어 있으며, 상당히 낮은 농도($6.15{\pm}0.343\;ppm$, $6.99{\pm}1.26\;ppm$)에서 DPPH 라디칼과 superoxide 음이온 라디칼을 50% 소거하는 것으로 나타났다. 아로니아의 항알레르기 효능에 관하여 5-LO의 $IC_{50}$값이 $47.07{\pm}0.15\;ppm$으로, EGCG의 $IC_{50}(15.83{\pm}0.98\;ppm)$보다는 높았지만 아로니아가 EGCG와 같은 단일물질이 아니라 천연혼합물임을 감안하여 다른 천연물들의 $IC_{50}$값과 비교하였을 때 5-LO를 비교적 낮은 농도에서 억제하고 있다고 볼 수 있다. 또한, COX-1과 COX-2의 저해 비율 비교를 통해 양성대조군으로 사용한 EGCG만큼 COX-2를 선택적으로 저해하고 있음을 확인하였다. 이상의 결과에 따르면 아로니아 추출물은 항산화 및 항알레르기 효능을 갖고 있으며, 따라서 알레르기성 비염이나 아토피와 같은 알레르기 관련 질병 치료에 유효하게 사용될 것이라 생각된다.

The EtOAc-soluble fraction from a methanolic extract of Hovenia dulcis Thunb. exhibited neuroprotective activity against glutamate-induced neurotoxicity in mouse hippocampal HT22 cells. The neuroprotective activity-guided isolation resulted in 8 phenolic compounds (1-8), such as vanillic acid (1), ferulic acid (2), 3,5-dihydroxystilbene (3), (+)-aromadendrin (4), methyl vanillate (5), (-)-catechin (6), 2,3,4-trihydrobenzoic acid (7), and (+)-afzelechin (8). Among these, compounds 6 and 8 had a neuroprotective effect on the glutamate-induced neurotoxicity in HT22 cells. Furthermore, compound 6 had a DPPH free radical scavenging effect with an $IC_{50}$ value of $57.7{\mu}M$, and a superoxide anion radical scavenging effect with an $IC_{50}$ value of $8.0{\mu}M$. Both compounds 6 and 8 had ABTS cation radical scavenging effects with $IC_{50}$ values of $7.8{\mu}M\;and\;23.7${\mu}M$, respectively. These results suggest that compounds 6 and 8 could be neuroprotectants owing to their free radical scavenging activities.

Objectives: There is currently increased interest in the identification of natural antioxidant compounds derived from various plants. Peony Root (PR) is used worldwide for the treatment of many types of cardiovascular disease including atherosclerosis and hypertension. It has been used in Korean traditional medicine for the treatment of glycosuria, hypertension and cancer. However, to date, no studies concerning the antioxidant properties of PR have been conducted. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the in vitro scavenging activity, inhibitory effect of LDL oxidation of pro-oxidant reactive species and anti-thrombosis effect in response to treatment with PR using various screening methods including biological and non-biological oxidants. Methods: In this study, the antioxidant activity of extract from PR was studied with in vitro methods by measuring the antioxidant activity by TEAC, measuring the scavenging effects on reactive oxygen species (ROS) [superoxide anion, hydroxyl radical] and on reactive nitrogen species (RNS) [nitric oxide and peroxynitrite] as well as measuring the inhibitory effect on $Cu^{2+}$-induced human LDL oxidation and the inhibitory effect on collagen-induced platelet aggregation. Results: The PR extracts were found to have a potent scavenging activity of oxidative stress [DPPH, superoxide anion, hydroxyl radical, nitric oxide and peroxynitrite, etc.] as well as an inhibitory effect on LDL oxidation and on platelet aggregation. Conclusions: The PR extracts have anti-oxidative and anti-atherosclerotic effects in vitro system, which can be used for developing pharmaceutical drugs against oxidative stress and atherosclerosis.

The nucleotides and their related compounds, including ATP (adenosine triphosphate), ADP (adenosine diphosphate), AMP (adenosine monophosphate), IMP (inosine monophosphate), HxR (inosine) and Hx (hypoxanthine), were nearly identical in oysters Crassostrea gigas from the two culture methods. The K-value was lower than the threshold value such as 11.2-12.1. Although oysters have low amount of IMP, it was detected in this experiment. DPPH radical scavenging activity did not vary significantly with sample amounts (100, 300, and $500{\mu}g/mL$). DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl) radical scavenging activity was 76.0-80.7% compare with the ascorbic acid standard. Superoxide anion scavenging activity reached 49.3% in the rack-and-bag culture sample at $500{\mu}g/mL$. However, the reducing power and $Fe^{2+}$ chelating activity were very low compared with their respective standard. The oyster culture methods did not affect oyster quality in terms of antioxidant activities.
